[Comprehensive] On the possibility of food conquering the world

"Black tea～black tea～"

Because of the needs of the customers, Shiyue checked that the oven had enough time, so she went to the warehouse to look for black tea.Among the secondary processed ingredients, it is easy to find black tea. There are four varieties: Ceylon black tea, Keemun black tea, Darjeeling black tea, and Assam black tea.Although I have never been in touch with tea in October, I have heard of their name, the world's four major black teas.

Because I didn't know the preferences of a few people, Shi Yue took this bag of black tea and went out. Each bag was carefully sealed with an oiled paper bag, the size of less than half a palm, and a small black cat icon was engraved on it.

"Mr. Gilbert, which one do you think is better?" Shi Yue placed four packs of black tea on the bar.

Gilbert stepped forward, picked up the tea bag and looked at it carefully, showing a somewhat surprised expression. "Oh~ I didn't expect the manager's store to have such a collection of top-quality black tea. Although I am very itchy, it would be too wasteful to brew them all. I will use the Ceylon black tea that everyone likes more. "

Hearing this, Shiyue put the other three packs of black tea aside, and took out a set of exquisite purple sand teapot tea set from the cupboard.Purple clay teapots are the best way to make tea. Shiyue knows a little bit about it. When you bring out this set of purple clay teapots, you can still smell the elegant tea fragrance.

[Hey, do all purple sand pots have their own tea fragrance? 】

After all, October is not someone who has studied the tea ceremony for many years. Mr. Gilbert explained the reason as soon as he picked up the teapot. "It seems, manager, that your purple clay teapot has been kept with good tea for decades."

"Using tea to raise a teapot?" October didn't understand.

"Hohohoho..." Gilbert chuckled. "It seems that there are other people who keep teapots. Yes, for those who like tea ceremony, if there is such a good set of purple clay teapots, they will use tea to raise them. The purple sand teapots don't need to be cleaned specially, and the walls of the teapots will slow down. Slowly absorb the aroma of each tea, and after a long time, it will take on the aroma of tea itself. With such a strong taste, it seems that its owner loves it very much, and it has been maintained for a long time, and it is still a good tea."

"Hey~" Shi Yue heard the words, and her eyes fell on the teapot in the other party's hand.

[It has been maintained for decades, is it Mr. Kurosawa?No, no, if it is Mr. Kurosawa, there will be no movement these days if he keeps a teapot, so who was his previous owner?Such an important thing, how...why would it be given to Mr. Kurosawa. 】

"It's a great honor for me to use such good tea and tea sets, so I will spare no effort to offer you a good tea."

On the small tea table, Gilbert moved carefully and brewed black tea smoothly, just like staging an artistic feast.Warm the cup with boiling water and heat it.Then I squeezed it out of the opened tea bag, as if I was very confident that the amount of grams I squeezed out was how much I needed, and I put it in the teapot without looking at it.Immediately afterwards, it was time to wash the tea. Gilbert held the teapot with both hands and shook it gently, as if he had his own unique rhythm.Pour off the water used to wash the tea, then pour in 2% boiling water, cover the teapot and let it soak for 3-[-] minutes. At this time, the tea fragrance of Ceylon black tea has diffused out.

Tea is a very strange thing. Even after drying, even the fragrance is not very clear, but after brewing, all its essence is released.Before the black tea in the teapot is poured out, the mint-like, lily-of-the-valley fragrance has already captivated everyone's sense of taste, even faintly overpowering the smell of bread baked in October.You know, the butter bread he is making now is already a serious gold-level meal.

Mr. Gilbert seemed to have calculated the time well. The moment the black tea was poured out, the oven dinged, and the buttered bread was ready.

Turn on the oven in October, and the aroma of buttered bread is completely diffused. The smell of Ceylon black tea is not only not washed away, but the two complement each other, which is even more seductive to the gluttons in the stomachs of customers.

Leo was already lying on the table. "Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Store Manager, I can't take it anymore. Whether it's bread or black tea, please give me a serving. I haven't had a good meal all day."

Of course, what Leo said about one day is not an exaggeration. As a needy household in the society, he also rejected the subsidy from his boss, Klaus. I ate the last meal without the next meal, and today is no exception, it is very miserable.

Seeing his miserable appearance, October laughed, and put the first packaged bread in front of him. Mr. Gilbert did not do this, but put the first cup of black tea on October in front of.

"Eh? Mr. Gilbert?" October's hand holding the second bread tray froze in mid-air.

Gilbert took the bread tray naturally and smiled. "As the housekeeper, I would like to thank Master Klaus for your kindness in providing us with such delicious tea and exquisite tea sets. As the current owner of the tea set, the first cup of tea should be given to Mr. Manager."

"Ah, thank you."

Unexpectedly, after giving the first cup of black tea to October, Gilbert served the second cup of black tea to Heisawa who was sitting on the bar.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Kurosawa."

Kurosawa nodded reservedly and wagged his tail, accepting his thanks.

Seeing this, Shiyue also left two loaves of bread alone, and put them in front of Kuisawa and herself.Just at this time, Stephen and Qian Huang, who were out, also came back.

The wind chime at the door rang softly, and the door was knocked open.

"It seems that we came back at the right time. This taste is really great. Is it the craftsmanship of the store manager and Gilbert?" Stephen walked to the seat reserved for himself and sat down, taking a breath, trying to Occupy the appearance of all fragrances.

"It would be nice to have another bottle of good wine." Qian said with a little regret.

Just as Shi Yue was about to say that the warehouse has it, he saw that everyone except Qian was winking at him or shaking their heads. Although he didn't know what it meant, Shi Yue didn't continue to say that there is wine.

Shi Yue did not taste the bread first like the others, but picked up the black tea in front of him. The purple sand teacup had its own deep color, but the color of the black tea in it was not covered by it at all. The color of the tea soup was orange-red and bright. Under the illumination of the lamps, there is a golden halo around the tea surface, like a coronation, graceful and noble.

Every time the tea cup is brought closer to the nose, the sweet aroma of mint and lily of the valley becomes more intense.After the entrance, the strong taste reverberates in the mouth. Different from its elegant aroma, the taste of Ceylon black tea is very mellow, with a slight bitterness, followed by an endless sweet aftertaste.

Shi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the remaining tea soup in the tea bowl, and had a strong idea in his heart, he wanted to learn tea art.

"It's delicious! It's heaven!" Leo's admiration pulled him out of his thoughts. Looking at the undisguised happiness on the guest's face, Shiyue lost the sigh just now and smiled happily.

"Mr. Store Manager, the bread you make is the most delicious bread I've ever eaten, and it's this!" Leo gave a big thumbs up.

Klaus and the others who sat at the bar and enjoyed the delicious afternoon tea followed suit and gave October a thumbs up, not hiding their praise at all.

"I'm glad you guys like it."

"Ah~~ Since I came to HL, I haven't had such authentic black tea for a long time."

"Huh? Wouldn't it be good to let someone from outside bring it over?" Leo asked suspiciously.

Gilbert shook his head. "Ceylon black tea, especially the uwo tea that is used now, has a very small annual output, and the top uwo tea is even more unavailable."

"Ah..." Leo and the others sighed deeply, so that was the case, and at the same time they sighed very much, the shop manager turned out to be so rich and well-off.

"Mr. Gilbert, I actually have an unfeeling request." October thought for a long time before opening his mouth. "Can you teach me how to make tea? Of course, I will also pay you. As long as I come here to open a shop, I will provide you with a copy of these four top teas."

Gilbert groaned, took the four bags of tea from October, and smiled kindly. "You don't need to provide it every time. After all, the only thing I am familiar with is the cooking method of black tea. I will teach you how to cook black tea. Take these as rewards."

"Thank you very much!" Shi Yue hurriedly bowed to thank him.

"Hahaha, you're welcome, after all, I like a good boy who studies hard."

After afternoon tea, because there were other things to deal with, Klaus took the others back, leaving only Gilbert to teach October the cooking process.Because there was no shortage of money, Klaus only paid for the bread with currency, and this time he did not earn energy points.However, these are not important now.

When warming the cup, the heat control of the teapot and the cup, the skill of washing the tea and smelling the fragrance, etc.Different from making meals, October, who was learning how to cook black tea, only felt that her skills were fully developed, and she followed Mr. Gilbert's movements without any slowness or incoherence, as if she should have been able to.

"Hasn't Mr. October really learned how to cook tea? Your talent is really great. I've already given you everything that should be handed over to you, and now it's up to you to practice on your own."

After leaving this sentence, Gilbert left. October looked at the clock, and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.After sending Gilbert away, October closed the door and put down the rest sign.

Seeing Mr. Kurosawa who was sitting at the bar and seemed to be waiting for him, October patted his head apologetically. "Sorry, Mr. Kurosawa, I forgot to prepare dinner for you."

"I don't care. After all, you are a monster. You are a weak human being. Pay attention to your body!" Mr. Kurosawa raised his cat's paw and lowered his hand. His tone sounded a little angry. After all, in the warehouse I dragged a fish out of the bag, ate it raw, and went upstairs.

[Ah, it seems that I am really angry. 】

October weighed the last bit of Ceylon black tea left in the tea bag, and decided to make the tea again.

After only a few hours of study, without Gilbert's guidance, October's body seemed to understand what to do by itself, and a cup of bright orange-red black tea was ready.

The moment the black tea was brewed, the system jumped out.There is a big golden exclamation mark on the task page, click on it, it is not a task, but a hidden task is triggered.

[Golden Hidden Mission: It is the first time to independently produce a golden meal without relying on the system.

Task reward: 1 point of basic attribute. 】

October is very unexpected. Is there a hidden task to be triggered in the original task?Moreover, the rewards are unexpectedly generous.After receiving the task reward, Mr. Kurosawa, who was angry, did not delay any longer in Shiyue. He packed up the tea set and cooking table, had a hasty dinner, then turned off the lights and went upstairs.

In the early hours of the morning, according to the usual practice, October went downstairs to carry out the world transfer.Next to him was Mr. Kurosawa who was obviously very angry and said yesterday that he would not come with him, but still walked in front of him.

The procedure for transferring to another world was very simple, and October completed it in a short while.Unexpectedly, when she was about to go upstairs, the door of the glass store was knocked lightly.

Immediately afterwards, the man's lazy voice came from outside, which was also mixed with the whistling sound of the strong wind, which made the man's words a little unclear.

"Is anyone there? It's raining heavily outside, can you let me stay overnight?"

Shi Yue was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that the destined person would come so fast this time. Although it was not the opening time, it was not good to leave things alone. Thinking so, Shi Yue hurried out and turned on the lights.

Under the illumination of the light, October could clearly see the people outside the restaurant.A very eye-catching short silver-white hair, handsome fair face, seems a little unhealthy, emerald green eyes are very beautiful, just like the lush trees and green grass outside, full of vitality, but lifeless feeling.

The man was wearing a soaked windbreaker and carrying a wooden box. It was raining heavily and he wanted to smoke a cigarette. When the lights in the store came on, he squinted his eyes. In the next second, he was very natural with the inside of the house. October raised his hand in greeting.

"Yo, excuse me."
